    GVim question

    How do I set my default font in GVim?

    I have changed the line in my ~/.gvimrc

    Code:
    set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
    However, it has no effect when I restart. I can go into the pulldown menu and change the font as I like, but it always falls back on restart.

    This is on my Mandrake 8.2 system, and it is Gvim 6.0.

    This here GVim is looking pretty good, overall, and I may become a full time Vim-er if I can get the font issue worked out.

    Works for me as well in vim 6.1 .... maybe there was a bug or diffrent syntax for 6.0?

    Ah ha!

    Well, it seems that set guifont gets ignored if you do not have the following line in your ~/.gvimrc file

    Code:
    set guifontset=
